About This Game



Polylithic is a survival game unlike any other, set in the Stone Age. Humans are not yet apex predators but one of many species living on Earth. You can be part of the change as a tribe leader, taking your people from Paleolithic hunting and gathering to building the first permanent settlements of the Neolithic age, paving the way for future civilizations.

But before that can happen, you will have to discover a world, craft the first proper tools and items in mankind’s history, research the first technologies that separated humans from other species, and build many villages for your tribe– helping them grow, prosper, and eventually settle down to let prehistory turn into history.

A Low-Poly World of Opportunity



The Polylithic universe is a vibrant place, with a world only barely touched by human presence. Search for resources in tall forests, snow-covered hills, and raging river rapids. Hunt all manner of animals to feed yourself and your tribe. A hint of sci-fi mystery lingers in this ancient world. Search for other human tribes (or what's left of them), learn from their mistakes, and build monuments in their memory, all set against a backdrop of vibrant colors and beautiful low-poly landscapes.

Prehistoric Survival



You will have to gather, craft, and hunt your way to survival in these colorful environments. Every animal is a challenge to track down, from the smallest rabbit to the tallest mammoth, as is finding the right resources. After all, this is the first time humanity has attempted it. How well would you fare in the wilderness?

Lay the Foundations of Civilization



You can experience Polylithic trying to survive on your own - or you can do what our ancestors did and form tribes. There's strength in numbers, and as the village leader, it will be your goal to look after your fellow tribesmen, take care of their needs and keep them happy. In return, they will work under your leadership, further growing the tribe, becoming Elders, and paving the way for the Neolithic Revolution.
